Kurt Angle is in the ring to kick off the show. Angle talks about how both briefcases were won by Raw superstars, and Alexa Bliss makes her way to the ring. Bliss thanks everyone for the opportunity and a ‘you deserve it’ chant breaks out. Bliss says thanks for the opportunity to rub it in their faces. Bliss is at her heelish best here as she talks about beating both Rousey and Jax, she calls them both bullies and the fans begin chanting for Rousey.

Rousey’s music hits and she runs to the ring. She goes for Bliss, and Angle holds her back. Bliss then pokes more fun at Rousey and tells her that this is the WWE, not UFC. Rousey flips Kurt and attacks Bliss. She takes the briefcase and hits Bliss, Angle tries to stop her and he gets a briefcase shot for his efforts. Rousey then picks Bliss up and puts her through the table, and the crowd are loving it. Rousey makes her way up the ramp and Angle follows her.

Backstage, we see Angle suspend Rousey for 30 days. This was the best opening to Raw in some time. Rousey continues to look super impressive, and Bliss is just so damn good as the heel champion. Their feud could be one of the highlights of the summer. The suspension is a good way of keeping Rousey away until Bliss has beaten Nia at Extreme Rules as well.

Seth Rollins is out for his open challenge. He talks about last night’s victory briefly and Dolph Ziggler heads down to the ring with Drew McInytre to accept his challenge. The two men put on a super entertaining back and forth encounter, with Rollins playing off his injury from Money in the Bank. Rollins tried the same roll-up to beat Ziggler that he used at Money in the Bank, but Ziggler managed to roll him over for a pin and get the surprise victory. (Rating: *** 1/2) This was a really great match but the decision seems a little random. I guess Ziggler will feud with McIntyre over the Summer? and Drew will get his moment at SummerSlam? If not, then why not have him win the belt instead of Dolph.

Bobby Roode comes out and beats Curt Hawkins in less than 30 seconds. Guess they just needed to fill a bit of time? An interview posted on Youtube makes it seems as though a heel turn is on the way for Roode.

Braun Strowman makes his way to the ring with his Money in the Bank briefcase. Braun talks about his achievements but says that this is his biggest. He says that he will cash in the moment that Brock Lesnar turns up and the fans are loving it. He is interrupted by the arrival of Kevin Owens though.

Owens comes out and says that Braun may not have needed a lot of help in the past, but he will now and that he is there to offer that help. He says he will help Braun win the Universal Title and then, once Lesnar has been defeated, the two men can face off for the belt, as friends. He says Sami is injured and that both he and Braun are in need of a friend. He makes his way to the ring and proposes a ‘monster and man’ friendship. Of course, Braun then just hits him with the running power slam. This was a great segment, and Owens was on fine form. This has been a solid episode of Raw so far.

Next, we see The B-Team dressed as The Deleter of Worlds in a brilliant parody segment. This feud has been fairly dull so far, but this added a little bit to things, hopefully, we can see more of these over the coming weeks.

The tag champs are watching in the ring and are out next for a match with Heath Slater and Rhyno. They get the quick win inside three minutes but the crowd are fairly dead through-out. Since winning the belts, The Deleters of Worlds have done nothing whatsoever, they have a unique gimmick and the WWE is seemingly just ignoring them.

Jinder Mahal talks about his loss last night, and talks about how he has changed. His opponent tonight is Chad Gable. Gable puts on his usual solid performance here, and there were some nice exchanges during the bout. Jinder was the same as always, and he picked up the win with the khalass, which I think may be the most protected finisher in all of wrestling. (Rating: ** 1/2) Gable is wasted at the moment, I’d be fine with Jordan returning and the two men reuniting.

Bayley and Sasha are out for a match against the Riott Squad next. The match itself was fine, but the whole thing was dominated by the on-going Bayley and Sasha debacle, which is difficult to care about considering it’s been going for nearly a year. Some sort of miscommunication between the two leads to Sasha getting rolled up for the loss. (Rating: **) After the match, Sasha and Bayley argue in the ring, and Sasha pushes Bayley over.

After the break, we see Bayley stop Sasha backstage. The two have a bit of an exchange and then they finally break out into a fight. This was fine, but it would have had so much more impact if it had happened months ago.

Kurt Angle makes his way to the ring to talk about Brock Lesnar’s next Universal title defence. Before Angle can really announce anything though, Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring. He talks about deserving a shot at Lesnar because he never lost to him, and all of his usual lines. Bobby Lashley then makes his way to the ring and talks about how Reigns has had his shot, and how he will show Reigns what it takes to beat Lesnar. Angle then says that there will be a multi-man number 1 contenders match at Extreme Rules to decide Lesnar’s next opponent, which, coincidentally, also main-evented Extreme Rules last year too.

They are then interrupted by The Revival, of all people. The Revival talk about busting their balls and never getting anything in return. Reigns then cuts them off and tells them to get into the ring with him and Lashley. Angles calls for a ref and we have our next match.

It’s always great to see The Revival on TV but it would be nice to see them getting treated well. They basically just existed here to create a little bit of friendly rivalry between Reigns and Lashley here, who did the usual blind tags routine with each other and kept trying to one-up each other throughout the bout. In the end, Lashley tagged himself in and hit a spear to pick up the win, leaving Reigns shocked. (Rating: ** 1/2) It’s a shame The Revival can’t get anywhere near the tag team belts, while The B-Team can. Lashley seems to have put the Zayn nonsense behind him though, and hopefully, the WWE can find something more useful to do with him in the coming weeks.

We see Angle and Corbin backstage. They bump into Balor, and he asks about being in the match at Extreme Rules. Corbin mocks him and then Kevin Owens shows up. Owens talks to Finn and Corbin and Finn points out to Owens that Braun is stood behind him. Owens, hilariously, runs over to Corbin and a tag match is made for the event- Owens and Corbin Vs Finn and Braun

No Way Jose makes his way out to the ring for a match with Mojo Rawley. Mojo basically squashes Jose in a few minutes and then cuts a pointless promo after the bout. No idea why this happened.

We see Sasha getting into her car in the parking lot. Bayley tries to talk to her but Sasha says she’s done and drives off. Bayley then throws a can at her car like a petulant child, which was oddly quite amusing.

Rollins is backstage, and he announces that he will use his rematch clause against Dolph Ziggler next week.

Main event time. Everyone makes their way to the ring, and Corbin is wrestling in his suit, which is pretty amusing. Braun and Finn have a great chemistry as a team, and they had some really funny moments during the match here. Owens’ character work is on point at the moment too, which helped make this a really enjoyable main event. Corbin picked up the victory over Balor in the end, after Braun and Owens went through the barricade outside. (Rating: *** 1/4) This was a fun way to close the show.

Verdict: Overall, this was the most enjoyable episode of Raw in some time. The opening segment was hot, and while there were some random matches peppered throughout the show,this was the most consistently entertaining Raw has been since the shake-up.
